It is hard for one’s true personality to translate when speaking another language, but luckily I am a fluent Spanish speaker and have learned enough Paisa slang to be my witty self.

I’ve been here 5 years and I’m still floored at some of the women in my gym!

On the street, I am usually attracted to women who look as if they are on their way to an office job.

Do not even get me started on the gym, it is almost like a circus sideshow in there.

Seeing beautiful women here is so common that Colombian men don’t even turn to look, it’s ridiculous.

Typically, very beautiful girls in Medellin will go to a bar or a nightclub in a group, and there will be guys in that group usually.

For an emasculated man from the United States, this is a nightmare.Every day I see gorgeous women walking up and down the street.I go to the supermarket and I see beautiful women, I go get my hair cut and there’s a breathtaking woman, I go eat lunch and I see an amazingly attractive woman.Penetrating that group of friends, playing “the game” in order to get to your “target girl” is hard work, and sometimes does not work if you don’t speak Spanish well enough for her to understand.Many guys who come to Colombia cannot pick up girls in their own native language let alone in Spanish and some even have the audacity to say that the women here are just “gold diggers” or “too difficult” and that is not accurate at all.The “gringo effect” is the reaction a foreign guy gets from girls here in Medellin.
